sw.alpha

either salinity [PSU] (in which case <code>t</code> and <code>p</code>
    must be provided) <strong>or</strong> a <code>ctd</code> object (in which case
    <code>S</code>, <code>t</code> and <code>p</code> are determined from the object, and
    must no

Set TRUE if t is theta or FALSE if t is in-situ

is.theta

Compute $\alpha$, the seawater thermal expansion
  coefficient, as the product of $\alpha/\beta$ and
  $\beta$, each calculated from McDougall's (1987) algorithm.

misc

Supports the analysis of Oceanographic data,
 including CTD measurements, sea-level timeseries, coastline
 files, etc.  Also includes functions for calculating
 seawater properties such as density, and derived properties
 such as buoyancy frequency.
